"Roberto will be working with our infielders, hitters, and will be a major asset for us in the weight room. His background in strength and conditioning as well as professional playing experience is a home run combination for the development of our student-athletes. I'm looking forward to having him in our program and I'm jacked up to see the impact he will make."
